I Once Had A Heart

All the hurt I have endured, made up this collection of poetry. Still, this collection only barely scratches the surface.
I want someone I cannot have
Because I have a heart
I hurt from her silence
Because I have a heart
My curiosity as to where her attention lies
When we don't speak
Degrades me
Because I have a heart
I want what I can't have
Her reflection in my eyes
Because I have a heart
Why Do I Have This Heart ~ Sakari
